How do you convert ounces-force to pounds-force?
- 1.Take the measurement in ounces-force.
- 2.Multiply by 0.0625 — that is how many pounds-force fit in one ounce-force.
- 3.To go back the other way, divide by 0.0625, or multiply by 16.
Worked example: 25 ounces-force to pounds-force
- Formula
- ozf × 0.0625 = lbf
- Arithmetic
- 25 × 0.0625 = 1.5625 lbf
- Answer
- 25 ozf = 1.5625 lbf
The factor is exact, so this figure is exact too — only the display is rounded.

What is an ounce-force?
A sixteenth of a pound-force. Spring tensions, switch actuation and small-motor specifications are given here.
What is a pound-force?
The weight of one pound under standard gravity, exactly 4.4482216152605 newtons. A pound of mass and a pound-force are different quantities that share a name, which is why this unit exists at all.
How many pounds-force are in an ounce-force?
One ounce-force is 0.0625 pounds-force, exactly. Going the other way, one pound-force is 16 ounces-force. Both figures come from the same defined relation rather than from a measurement, which is why they are the same today as they were in 1959.
